Hi again,
Just a little nudge to see if anyone has attempted any of the prior
mentioned, or if they may have ideas on how this is best achieved..
Kind regards,
David

Dear list,
I'm currently tinkering with adding host attributes (As custom attrs, or
for the moment into the description field). My intention is to then read
these from the host in order to define some local behaviour for scripts or
puppet.
Example - a concept of machine ownership, or device class for local
scripts or puppet to know about.
The two ways I've thought of so far entail
- having the CLI tools installed to run IPA commands, or
- kinit -kt /etc/krb5.keytab followed by ldapsearch to read in the
parts I'm interested in.
It occurred to me that sssd or some other components I understand less
well might already be able to trivially read the host data IPA holds, or
that the kinit might not be needed given the machine can already read out
getent aprts direct from LDAP/IPA values with a non network account in use.
Any ideas or suggestion around this so I don't reinvent the wheel?
Kind regards,
David
